  • Frank Zelko Research Fellow, GHI
    “MAKE IT A GREEN PEACE”: THE HISTORY OF AN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION Frank Zelko Research Fellow, GHI In the early 1970s, the United States Congress’s House Subcommittee on Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation held a series of hearings on the sub- ject of marine mammal protection. Among those who testified were rep- resentatives of America’s oldest and most established wilderness protec- tion groups, such as the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society, and the National Wildlife Federation. Although it was important to ensure that the world’s populations of whales and seals remained as healthy as pos- sible, these organizations argued, they did not support a policy of abso- lute protection. As long as the survival of the species was ensured, they believed, it was legitimate to use its “surplus” members for the benefit of people. In his testimony before the subcommittee, Thomas Kimball of the National Wildlife Federation employed phrases such as “renewable re- sources,” “stewardship,” and “professional wildlife management.” The “harvesting of surplus wildlife populations,” his organization felt, wasan “important management tool if the continuing long-range well-being of an animal population is the ultimate objective.”1 A few years later, a group of environmental protesters off the coast of California came across a fleet of Soviet whaling boats. Using motorized inflatable dinghies, the activists positioned themselves between a whal- er’s harpoon and a fleeing pod of sperm whales, acting as human shields to protect the defenseless giants. Whaling, these activists insisted, was not merely an issue of wildlife preservation or resource stewardship. Rather, it was an unconscionable act of violence perpetrated against a species whose intelligence and sensitivity put them in the same biological cat- egory as human beings.

  • The Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior: Responses to an International Act of Terrorism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NECTAR Journal of Postcolonial Cultures and Societies ISSN No. 1948-1845 (Print); 1948-1853 (Electronic) The sinking of the rainbow warrior: Responses to an international act of terrorism Janet Wilson Introduction: the Rainbow Warrior Affair The Rainbow Warrior affair, an act of sabotage against the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, the Rainbow Warrior, when berthed at Marsden wharf in Auckland harbour on 10th July 1985, dramatised in unprecedented ways issues of neo-imperialism, national security, eco-politics and postcolonialism in New Zealand. The bombing of the yacht by French secret service agents effectively prevented its participation in a Nuclear Free Pacific campaign in which it was to have headed the Pacific Fleet Flotilla to Moruroa atoll protesting French nuclear testing. Outrage was compounded by tragedy: the vessel’s Portuguese photographer, Fernando Pereira, went back on board to get his camera after the first detonation and was drowned in his cabin following the second one. The evidence of French Secret Service (Direction Generale de la Securite Exterieure or DGSE) involvement which sensationally emerged in the following months, not only enhanced New Zealand’s status as a small nation and wrongful victim of French neo-colonial ambitions, it dramatically magnified Greenpeace’s role as coordinator of New Zealand and Pacific resistance to French bomb-testing. The stand-off in New Zealand –French political relations for almost a decade until French bomb testing in the Pacific ceased in 1995 notwithstanding, this act of terrorism when reviewed after almost 25 years in the context of New Zealand’s strategic and political negotiations of the 1980s, offers a focus for considering the changing composition of national and regional postcolonial alliances during Cold War politics.

  • Satisfaction As a Form of Reparation for Moral Damages Suffered by Investors and Respondent States in Investor-State Arbitration Disputes
    Journal of International Dispute Settlement, (2012), pp. 1–38 doi:10.1093/jnlids/idr016 Satisfaction as a Form of Reparation for Moral Damages Suffered by Investors and Respondent States in Investor-State Arbitration Disputes PATRICK DUMBERRY* Downloaded from The question examined in this article is how moral damages should be remediated by arbitral tribunals in the specific context of investor-State arbitration. In other words, is the best remedy satisfaction or monetary compensation? The article first examines the issue of reparation for moral damages under general international law, and specifically the different forms that the remedy of satisfaction may take. Under http://jids.oxfordjournals.org/ international law, monetary compensation is the appropriate remedy for moral damages affecting an individual while satisfaction is the proper means of reparation for such damages caused to a State directly. The article then examines recent investor-State arbitration cases. They also show that monetary compensation is the appropriate remedy for moral damages affecting an individual or a corporation. Two recent cases (Pey Casado v Chile and Lemire v Ukraine) raise the question whether or not a tribunal established under a BIT could remediate moral damages suffered by a foreign investor with satisfaction (in the form of a declaration of wrongfulness) instead of monetary compensation. This issue has never been by guest on January 14, 2012 addressed in the doctrine. In our view, satisfaction is not the proper method of remediation in this context. In two other recent cases (Europe Cement v Turkey and Cementownia v Turkey), Turkey sought an award of monetary compensation for moral damages it allegedly suffered with regards to its ‘reputation and international standing’ as a result of baseless claims filed by the foreign investors.

Most of these pictures were taken more than half a century ago, when above- ground atmospheric testing was still common practice among nuclear powers. Things have improved significantly since then: explosive nuclear tests went underground from the mid-1960s onwards, and from 1998 onwards, only North Korea resorted to nuclear testing. All major nuclear powers – the US, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, China, India and Pakistan - declared some sort of testing moratorium before the end of the 20th century, and some of them signed or even ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) afterwards.

  • Vingt Ans Après: Rainbow Warrior, Legal Ordering, and Legal Complexity
    (2006) 10 SYBIL 99–116 © 2006 Singapore Year Book of International Law and Contributors VINGT ANS APRÈS: RAINBOW WARRIOR, LEGAL ORDERING, AND LEGAL COMPLEXITY ∗ by CHRISTOPHER HARDING The intention in this paper is to explore some basic questions concerning the ordering and iden- tity of contemporary international law by reference to what at first sight appears to be a single, though significant incident of international law and relations. The analytical method employed for this purpose is to take a number of narratives relating to the incident and by aligning and comparing such narratives draw some conclusions about the way in which international law interrelates with and affects the operation of other legal orders. In this way, both the role and identity of the international system, and its normative siting, may be clarified. The actual focus for this discussion and basis for narrative analysis is provided by the well-known “Rainbow Warrior incident” in the mid 1980s (hence “Vingt Ans Après”) and its aftermath: the destruc- tion by French government agents of the Greenpeace ship The Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour in New Zealand in July 1985 and the political and legal resolution of that incident. I. INTRODUCTION How easy is it now to draw the boundaries or specify the content of international law? At a time when new supranational legal regimes, in relation to such diverse matters as human rights, maritime issues, or trans-national trading, are quickly emerging on a global scale, and when international norms are being translated into national legal orders with increasing frequency, the shape and working of international law seems both more significant yet also less certain.1 Thus the rules of the international system operate within a multi-level and less easily mapped space and are substantively, though not always transparently, more pervasive.

The human cost of nuclear weapons doi:10.1017/S1816383116000163 The humanitarian impact and implications of nuclear test explosions in the Pacific region Tilman A. Ruff* Dr Tilman A. Ruff is an infectious diseases and public health physician. Dr Ruff is Associate Professor at the Nossal Institute for Global Health, University of Melbourne; Co- President of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War; Founding Chair of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons; and International Medical Adviser for Australian Red Cross. Abstract The people of the Pacific region have suffered widespread and persisting radioactive contamination, displacement and transgenerational harm from nuclear test explosions. This paper reviews radiation health effects and the global impacts of nuclear testing, as context for the health and environmental consequences of nuclear test explosions in Australia, the Marshall Islands, the central Pacific and French Polynesia. The resulting humanitarian needs include recognition, accountability, monitoring, care, compensation and remediation. Treaty architecture to comprehensively prohibit nuclear weapons and provide for their elimination is considered the most promising way to durably end nuclear testing. Evidence of the * This paper is humbly dedicated to the victims and survivors of nuclear explosions worldwide working for the eradication of nuclear weapons.
